Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for supporting a sling of an invalid hoist, said device including means for suspending the sling in the device, and means for angular displacement of a patient suspended in the sling.
  • a device for supporting a sling is known from GB-A-2 184 706 or GB-A-2 272 679.
  • This device comprises a sling frame which is angularly displaceable around a horizontal axis.
  • the frame is suspended from the lifting arm of an invalid hoist.
  • the device consists of a sling hanger support with two spaced sling attachment points on one side of a horizontal pivot axis and one sling attachment point on the other side.
  • the sling hanger has a hand grip at one end and may be pivoted around the horizontal axis by an operator by moving the handle of the frame.
  • the sling support is provided with frictional restraints for control of the pivotal movement.
  • the disposition of the patient can be changed whilst suspended in the sling.
  • the operator must use a certain amount of power to overcome the frictional restraint and to pivot the sling support and the patient suspended in the sling.
  • the handle is situated in an unfortunate position and it may be difficult to get a proper grip on the handle. This may be uncomfortable for the operator and could result in overload or even injuries to the back.
  • the sling frame device is displaceable around a vertical axis relative to the lifting arm.
  • This bearing may be loaded with a torque load since the centre of gravity of the load suspended in the bearing is not necessarily directly below the bearing. This loading wears out the vertical bearing and may cause damage to the vertical bearing.
  • a sling support of the type mentioned above where a rotary drive means is provided for pivoting the sling support.
  • the drive means is a somewhat bulky attachment on one of the bearings of the sling hanger support and the sling hanger. This takes up a lot of space around the sling and the patient.
  • a reduction is achieved in the manual force required to overcome the frictional restraint and to pivot the patient in the sling.
  • the suspension means comprises a first and a second set of suspension straps
  • the angular displacement means includes winding means for winding of the first set and unwinding the second set of suspension straps or vice versa.
  • the angular displacement function is achieved in an entirely different manner than previously known since the sling support comprises a number of straps that may be wound or unwound in order to change the angular position the patient suspended in the sling.
  • the straps are arranged in sets where the front end of the sling is suspended from a first set of straps and the rear end of the sling from the second set of straps.
  • the angular displacement around a horizontal axis is provided by elongating, i.e. unwinding, a first set of straps and/or shortening, i.e. winding up a second set of straps.
  • a device according to the invention may be used in connection with various lifting devices for handling of patients.
  • the device is situated above the sling and does not take up space around the sling. This means that the sling may be easier to operate.
  • the winding means comprises driving means connected to a rotation axis for simultaneous winding of one set of straps whilst unwinding the other set.
  • driving means connected to a rotation axis for simultaneous winding of one set of straps whilst unwinding the other set.
  • the rotation axis is provided with a winding roller for each strap in the suspension means and features the straps of the first set wound in one direction around the axis and the straps of the second set in the other direction.
  • a particularly simple winding mechanism is provided.
  • At least one of the sets of straps comprises two straps spaced apart in the device.
  • two straps are provided in each set of straps and the first pair of straps is spaced wider apart than the second pair of straps.
  • the traverse position of the straps is chosen in order to provide a stabile suspension of the sling when loaded.
  • the first set of straps could comprise one strap positioned at the centre of the device and the second set of two straps positioned at the end portions of the device.
  • the winding means are enclosed in an elongated housing provided with connection means for attaching the device in a lifting device such as a hoist.
  • a lifting device such as a hoist.
  • connection means for attaching the device in a lifting device such as a hoist.
  • the connection means could be a connection rod which is part of the lifting arm in a standing lift having different modules for adapting the lifting arm to particular tasks.
  • connection means comprises a universal joint.
  • a device according to the invention is freely moveable and angularly displaceable around a vertical axis. Moreover, no torque or side loads are transmitted to the lifting arm.
  • the elongated housing is generally triangular in a cross-sectional shape with smooth edges and corners, said housing having openings in a first side, through which the first set of straps penetrate and openings in a second side, through which the second set of straps penetrate.
  • a spreader bar housing is provided which is resistant to bending while being elegantly designed with smooth edges preventing injuries to the patient.
  • operating means are arranged on the housing for controlling the operation of the drive means.
  • These operating means may comprise a lever or buttons for changing the angular position into a first and second direction around the horizontal axis.
  • the operating means may preferably be provided on the side surface of the triangular housing pointing downwards. This makes it possible for the operator as well as the patient him- or herself to operate the device. By positioning the operating means centrally, the risk of activating the controls by accident is reduced.
  • the drive means comprises an electrical motor and preferably also an associated electrical energy supply and operating means.
  • the energy supply is preferably a rechargeable battery.
  • the motor and the battery are arranged in the housing on each side of the connection means. This means that a compact driving packet is provided allowing for a compact design of a device according to the invention.
  • a device according to the invention is shown.
  • the device comprises a housing 1 which constitutes a spreader bar. From the housing 1, two sets of straps 2, 4; 3, 5 extend downwards in different directions.
  • the straps 2-5 are attached to a sling 6 in which a person may be suspended and e.g. transported to another location via suitable buckles.
  • the device is suspended from a lifting arrangement such as a track mounted in the ceiling.
  • FIG 2 another embodiment of a device according to the invention is shown.
  • the housing is provided with a universal joint 8 for attaching the device to a lifting arm 9 or to a utility module for the lifting arm, so that an existing hoist of a suitable type, such as the type of hoist that may be converted from a patient hoist to a stand-up hoist, may be extended to other kinds of use.
  • a suitable type such as the type of hoist that may be converted from a patient hoist to a stand-up hoist
  • the housing 1 of the device is generally triangular in shape with a generally horizontal upper surface at the centre of which the universal joint 8 is provided.
  • the triangular housing 1 is provided with rounded edges for both aesthetic and practical reasons.
  • the housing 1 is provided with openings 12, 13 at the lower parts of the two side sections for the straps 2-5.
  • the device is shown from one side and in figure 4 the device is shown from the other side.
  • the operating means 10 are provided at the centre of the side surface.
  • the operating means 10 preferably consist of two buttons for angular disposition of the sling 6 in one direction each.
  • the first set of straps 2, 4 passes through the inner openings 13 whereas the second set of straps 3, 5 passes through the outer openings 12 (see also fig. 4).
  • the first set of straps 2, 4 spaced further apart is attached to the leg end of the sling 6 (see fig. 1) and the second set of straps 3, 5 is attached to the head end of the sling 6.
  • the driving means 11 for winding and unwinding the straps 2-5 are arranged inside the housing 1, the driving means 11 for winding and unwinding the straps 2-5 are arranged. These driving means 11 are shown in detail in figure 5.
  • the driving means comprise a motor 15 which drives a rotation axis 14 through a gearbox 16.
  • This rotation axis 14 extends through the lower part of the housing 1 and may preferably be supported at both ends of the housing 1 (not shown).
  • two sets of winding stations 17, 18 are arranged. These winding stations are defined by rollers or disks on the rotation axis 14.
  • the outer straps 3, 5 are wound up around the winding station 17 when the rotation axis 14 is turned in one direction.
  • the inner straps 2, 4 are attached to the inner winding stations 18 and are being unwound when the rotation axis 14 is turned in said one direction.
  • a simultaneous winding/unwinding may be performed in the same operation by a single rotation axis 14 and a single drive means 15.
  • the motor 15 is an electrical motor.
  • the gear box 16 is designed in such a way that the motor/gearbox arrangement takes up only a minimum amount of space.
  • a battery (not shown) may be provided together with the motor on each side of the centre of the housing.
